Australia’s Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is deploying drones in a new effort to help protect koalas in southeast Queensland.

According to the university, the state government has announced a funding boost for the koala conservation effort. The two-year project will be led by Dr. Grant Hamilton from QUT’s Science and Engineering Faculty, who says the technology will provide a survey method for detecting koalas and estimating their numbers.
